I hate interviewing pollies. 

You can’t get a straight answer out of them.

They are just very media savvy

And they spin you a load of bulldust cos’ they know how much time they’ve got.

They waffle on … answered no hard questions

Neither Roxon nor Abbott gave us anything concrete!

Health is the number 1 issues for Australians. And particularly hospitals.

And they’re sick and tired of pollies blaming each other.

States blame federal, federal blames states. And low and behold nothing gets done.

We found it 3750 new beds would it. Nurses said beds are the issue. And it would cost $1.2billion.

Considering both parties have proposed $32billion in tax cuts, they do have the money.

We expect a decent hospital system and neither of them would commit.

So now, for the rest of the campaign, we are gunna bang on about 3750 new beds.

World Best Practice is that the average occupancy of beds is 85% and that allows a margin - to take into account spikes in demand. That’s World Best Practice.

Which we would expect in this country.

But, we have an average occupancy of 95%. And during winter, it’s 121%!

So 21% more people than beds come in.

As a result, Emergency gets blocked up just as there are no new beds.

No other beds in hospital.

That’s pathetic. UnAustralian.
 
We’ve told them we’ll keep coming back to you on it. We’ll stay on em’.

And if they announce something on the campaign trail, we’ll be asking “Where’s the funding?”
